Su Wanwan simply whispered:
“We’re moving back to Kunning Palace.”
"Isn't this like a sparrow taking over a cuckoo's nest?" Crane Shadow muttered softly.
Su Wanwan paused, she herself felt the same way.
Is there any way to do this?
Because he's the emperor, his word is law.
He was so violent last night, as if it were the last time, a final farewell.
She hasn't fully recovered yet.
However, she remained calm and composed on the surface.
"I am the Empress, and it is proper for me to live in Kunning Palace."
These words made Maggie turn around and look at her, a hint of disdain flashing in her eyes.
So what if she's the empress?
The Emperor purged the palace and immediately brought her over, banishing the Empress.
They couldn't even be bothered to give the Empress a modicum of respect.
He Ying suppressed the humiliation in her eyes: "This servant will have someone pack things."
Su Wanwan readily agreed: "No need, I don't want anything here."
He Ying was slightly surprised. So many clothes and jewelry, you don't want them anymore?
"Then this servant will go and carry Yunxi."
"I don't want Yunxi either." Su Wanwan's face was cold, and her tone was distant and indifferent.
Since we're leaving anyway, let's just say goodbye.
Don't drag things out.
Lu Xingjian simply stood there, his hands behind his back.
The morning sunlight shone on him, and the gold embroidery on his dark dragon robe reflected an unusual light.
His face didn't reveal any emotion.
Perhaps he even enjoys this situation of "wives and concubines fighting for power".
Maggie walked over and stood beside him, calling out sweetly, "Your Majesty."
Lu Xingjian's gaze slid down to her abdomen.
Are you still experiencing morning sickness?
Maggie pouted: "I feel much better as soon as I see the Emperor."
Lu Xingjian's gaze remained fixed on her abdomen, his eyes gentle, as if he were thinking about something.
Maggie swayed her hips seductively.
In front of the Emperor, she only wanted to show her best side.
These days, which felt like imprisonment, made her realize that in order to survive in the palace, she had to hold onto this man tightly.
Never let go.
Su Wanwan ignored their tender moment.
He simply had someone bring him a wine cup, then knelt down in the center of the courtyard and performed a grand salute to Lu Xingjian.
He Ying glanced at Ma Ji, who was standing brazenly next to Lu Xingjian, and felt extremely distressed.
It seems that even the Empress is kneeling before Ma Ji.
Maggie doesn't even have a proper title.
By what right do they overstep their bounds?
The Emperor truly spoils her rotten!
This scene is truly frustrating.
Your Highness shouldn't have argued with the Emperor and pushed him to Ma Ji's side!
That's good now.
Instead, he ended up being kicked out.
Su Wanwan spoke calmly, without any emotion.
"White as snow on the mountain, bright as the moon in the clouds."
Hearing that you have two minds, I have come to sever our ties.
Today we drink together, tomorrow we'll be at the ditch.
I wander along the imperial moat, where the water flows east and west.
She then picked up the glass, brought it to her lips, downed it in one gulp, and turned the glass upside down on the tray.
Lu Xingjian stared coldly at Su Wanwan.
As I listened to her recite "Ode to White Hair," my aura grew colder and colder.
Seeing her final gesture of turning the wine glass upside down, her eyes instantly turned cold.
His voice suppressed anger:
"Is the Empress severing all ties with me?"
Maggie chimed in with a sullen tone, fanning the flames:
"Turning a wine glass upside down is a very disrespectful act."
"Your Majesty, the Empress is clearly disrespecting you. Does she even respect you as her emperor?"
Lu Xingjian snorted coldly:
"She just thought the Su family could still support her."
"By imperial decree, Su Nan is hereby dismissed from his official post and sent back to his hometown. He is not to return to the capital without an imperial edict!"
The word "repatriation" was particularly jarring and chilling.
Traditionally, only those who were exiled were sent to their place of exile.
The Emperor is truly angered by the Empress and is treating the Su family as criminals.
Maggie swayed her hips triumphantly, stretching out her graceful figure.
Her belly wasn't showing yet, and her figure hadn't changed.
They also have plenty of resources to please the emperor.
Su Wanwan has truly brought this upon herself today.
Once the news of the Su family's demotion spreads, who will dare to associate with her in the future?
How long can an empress, who has no support, hold onto her position?
Maggie had even suspected that the child in her womb was not the emperor's.
She was delirious from the Chinese medicine and only vaguely remembered a man making love to her.
Later, he would sneak out every day in the dark to find her when the effects of the drug took hold, and then quietly leave after relieving her of the effects.
Now that the Empress Dowager and even the Emperor have acknowledged the fetus, it is clear that the person in question is the seemingly aloof but actually secretly mad Emperor.
What other man could come and go freely in the palace besides the emperor?
She just couldn't understand why he always seemed indifferent to her during the day.
Now it's clear.
The palace is not safe; the emperor simply doesn't want her to become a target.
The Empress is a prime example; countless open and covert attacks were directed at her.
He, on the other hand, put a lot of thought into himself.
Now that she has gained status because of her son, she is extremely pleased with herself.
Why is it that even after receiving the Empress's favor for so long, she still can't conceive a royal heir?
No wonder she surpassed the others.
Su Wanwan, kneeling on the ground, didn't know what she was feeling.
Previously, when Su Nan requested to retire, Lu Xingjian stopped him from doing so.
Now they're using that to manipulate her.
The afterglow of passion in her body hadn't faded yet, and the heartless bastard who turned on her as soon as he got out of bed was still standing there.
Even his hair was combed by her just now.
